Norquist: voters don’t care about global warming.

In an interview with CQ, conservative activist Grover Norquist says that he doesn’t think “there’s a person in this country that votes on this subject.” Norquist’s claim flies in the face of public opinion as 60 percent of Americans believe “we must take action now or it will be too late to stop it” and 58 percent favor capping carbon emissions. Contradicting Norquist, pollster Frank Luntz has said climate change is “the single biggest vulnerability” for conservatives.
